Orphan index entries are non-dir index entries whose union nlink count dropped to zero. With index=on, orphan index entries are removed on mount. With NFS export feature enabled, orphan index entries are replaced with white out index entries to block future open by handle from opening the lower file. When dir index has a stale 'upper' xattr, we assume that the upper dir was removed and we treat the dir index as orphan entry that needs to be whited out or removed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
